as far as I am aware you can't password protect a folder.

What you can do though is create a new PST file, transfer all the email you want into it and the password protect the whole PST.

If you want to be really secure, after you move the emails over, make sure you perform a compact and repair to remove all the old emails from the orginal PST.

maybe put it on a CDRW and not your hard drive (keep a backup)

you could encrypt your outlook folder to password protect it.
google... tucows.. quite a few free encrypton programs there.
